Re: Hurricane Maria - TD 15

If it passes 40 miles south of user will get the NE quadrant which is the worst part of a hurricane so we can plan on much worse damage than we got from Irma. This will be so cruel and unfair to all the relief work going on!!!!

Re: Hurricane Maria - TD 15

As always. Best to be prepared. Which Is hard to do in STJ at the moment! The newly placed tarps are going to be able to handle much. I hope this goes away! But get ready STX. You have been such an amazing support to us and we want you all to be safe.

With Irma the strongest gusts came from WNW and WSW on STT. If the eye of Cat 3 passes south of STX then STT and STJ should be OK.

Re: Hurricane Maria - TD 15

Sent most of our extra hurricane stash to STJ/STT, thinking we had time to replenish. Then procrastinated on the replenishment tasks last week. Ooops. At least the thieves who tried to steal our portable generator failed.

Re: Hurricane Maria - TD 15

There was such a huge outpouring of support from STX to STJ and we cannot thank you enough. I know That there have been efforts stateside in getting supplies to STJ via STX then to be boated here. I asked one of the organizers of one of the efforts to consider leaving those item in STX. I know lots of you gave your back up supplies and haven't had time to replace them yet. I really hope you don't need them, but sure hope you have them if you need them. And I know that there are lots of STJ folks in STX right now as well. Be safe everyone.
